My 3# timney ar trigger has a slight bit of creep so I decided to see if I could adjust it. As it turns out you cant without taking a stone to it but you can adjust the trigger pull by adjusting the front center set screw. Now I dont have a pull gauge, but it feels like it can come down quite a bit from the factory 3# setting by turning the set screw counter clockwise or get firmer by going clockwise. I set it around 1 1/2# using my index finger trigger gauge, checked the sear engage and saftey and it all functions properly. Now this is a target rifle, so no duty issues, but the question I have is has anyone else done this and if so did it cause any malfunctions, doubles or such. Thanks
